Last Chapter.......

"Sure. That's a great idea." Tom smiled and they both went outside. The couple walked around for a while. They ended up in a beautiful garden with many types of flowers. Harry admired them, unaware of the man behind him. He eventually turned, gasping at what he saw. Tom was on one knee, crimson eyes hopeful. He held a small box in his hands, opening it. Inside, there was a ring. It was beautiful, a silver band with an emerald on it.

"Harry James Potter, will you do me the honor of becoming my husband?"

Now....

Harry stood there, dumbfounded. He was silent, Tom started to lower the ring with a disappointed look on his face.

"Yes, I will." He responded, Tom grinned and slipped the ring onto his finger. He handed the male a red rose. His lover smelled it and smiled. Harry made him stand, kissing his fiancé with burning passion. There was a surprised gasp from behind them. The younger wizard turned, blushing at the sight of Lucius, Draco, Narcissa, and a very pale Snape.

"Er-Hello." Harry said quietly, Tom smirked. He wrapped his arms around the younger wizard's waist protectively.

"I get that you are in love or whatever, but keep it behind closed doors for Merlin's sake!" Draco cried, Harry rolled his eyes. Tom grinned and started to nip at his neck, still with an audience. The potions master looked horrified, a similar expression on the elder Malfoy. Narcissa giggled,

"Aww!" She cooed with obvious delight.

"Tom, stop. Draco looks ready to throw up." Harry said, pulling away.

"Mm, so?" The man purred, walking closer. The raven haired male swatted his arm,

"Knock it off, this is already awkward enough." The man chuckled, but stopped.

"Fine. You're all welcome to go in our cottage and have tea." Tom said, turning and walking back to their vacation home. Harry motioned for everyone to start walking, Narcissa stayed behind with him.

"Oh Harry, he really loves you." She commented, the male smiled,

"I know. I love him too." The woman smiled back, walking the rest of the way in silence. When Harry arrived, they were already drinking tea, sitting at the table. "Tom, can we talk for a minute? In private."

"Of course. Do not disturb us." He walked into the bedroom, Harry turned.

"Get your minds out of the gutter." He joined Tom in their bedroom.

"What do you need to talk about?" The dark lord asked,

"We should tell them about us getting married." He stated quietly, Tom nodded.

"It would be the best thing to do. Don't worry." The dark lord comforted with a gentle smile.

"Ok. Let's go back." Harry walked to the table with his lover and sat down. All eyes were on them, Tom gave him an encouraging nudge .

"If you do not support Tom and I's relationship, please leave." No one stood, "Today-while on a walk- Tom proposed to me-"

"What did you say?" Snape questioned,

"Be patient. I, of course, said yes." The silence was deafening, Harry mentally groaned. He was sooo screwed if they didn't like it.

"That's great!" Narcissa said happily, smiling brightly. Harry sighed in relief as the other accepted it.

"My lord, may I speak with you for a minute?" Lucius and Snape asked in unison,

"I don't see why not." The men stood up, huddled in the corner.

"You will protect him." Lucius said quietly,

"If I hear that you've hurt him, I will hurt you!" Snape hissed.

"Show me the ring!" Narcissa said excitedly, Harry slid it off of his finger and showed her. She smiled, "It's beautiful-beautiful for a beautiful boy." Harry blushed and put it back on.

"Thank you. I honestly wasn't expecting for everyone to be so accepting of this." He admitted, the blondes smiled. They sat back down at the table, the other men joining them a minute after. Their guests finished the tea and said goodbye. Harry sighed in relief, leaning against the man he loved.

"Tom?"

"Yes?" He paused,

"Who are we inviting to the wedding?"

"The death eaters, vampires, your friends, that sums it up." Harry nodded.

"Are you hungry?" Tom nodded,

"Starving." The younger male gathered things from the cupboard and started to cook. The dark lord stood behind him, peering over his shoulder.

"What are you making?"

"Steak and sautéed mushrooms." Harry answered, Tom grinned.

"I am so lucky to have you, love." The boy smiled at him,

"It is quite strange, our relationship. I wish Dumbledore was alive to see us now." The dark lord nodded, Maverick butted Harry's leg with his head. The male glanced at him, eyes sparkling in amusement. "He looks hungry, poor thing. Feed him, the food is over there." Harry pointed to the bag of dog food and continued to cook.

"Do I have to?"

"Yes." Tom glared at the dog and poured him a bowl of food, then set it down on the floor. Harry smiled when the dark lord started petting Maverick. About fifteen minutes later, he set the food on the table. Tom started eating, looking up in concern when his lover wasn't eating.

"Is something wrong? Are you sick?" Harry shook his head 'no', he was fiddling with his ring. "Then why aren't you eating?"

"It's-thank you. You saved me, you for some reason love me, you've housed and protected me. Sometimes, I think of life without you. If you hadn't sent the first letter, if I hadn't responded." Harry said quietly, eyes glazing over, memories racing through his mind. Tom thought for a moment,

"I can't imagine life without you. Harry Potter, I love you and you are everything to me." The younger male smiled, looking at the ring again. He ate the steak and showered. He and Tom laid in bed, the dark lord placed a gentle kiss on his brow. "Goodnight, my love." He said quietly,

"G'night." Harry murmured, a content smile on his lips. Maverick climbed up on the bed and sprawled across the raven haired male. He laughed softly, petting the dog. Tom groaned,

"That damn mutt is going to crush you in your sleep." He mumbled, Harry grinned.

"Don't listen to him, Maverick, I still love you." Tom rolled his eyes as if annoyed, but there was amusement in his expression. The dark lord wrapped his arms around Harry, Maverick included.
